Unlike the MPAA we do not assign
one
inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE
and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest,
depending on quantity and context.
A con man and a reporter hook up to clear their names.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - A woman's bare buttocks are seen through mesh pantyhose.
Kissing, sexual innuendo (including a homosexual reference).
VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - Many people are shot and killed. Men are shot in the chest
with bloody bullet holes. Lights crush a man. Many scenes of people running and driving
while being shot at. Some explosions (sometimes with people being thrown) and men on fire.
Some scuffles. People are hit in the head a few times. A choking. Some punches in the
face, some kicks, and sometimes people throw each other around. Men fall through glass. A
car chase and multiple car crashes. Many scenes of threatening with guns. Some scenes with
blood: A small puddle of blood at a man's mouth and a bit of blood on a man's neck and
shirt, a man has blood on his temple and mouth and a man has very bloody hands and mouth
in a couple of scenes.

PROFANITY 7 - 30+ F-words, many scatological references, many mild
obscenities, some anatomical references, a few racial slurs. [profanity glossary]
A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we
started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were
not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many
older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please
keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period.
While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are
limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.
